For Juanita,I have never met Juanita, however, I have had the pleasure of working with Dodie Gemignani at United Hospital System, Kenosha Campus for the past 6-7 years. I have heard many things about Juanita and know that she raised a wonderful daughter Dodie, who not only is a hard worker, but a strong willed person who knows and values life and takes each day as a gift. Juanita must have been a profound and gracious person as is Dodie. I am lucky and grateful for Dodie to be my co-worker and for the fact that without Juanita, I wouldn't have my Dodie at my side during patient care. Not only is Dodie a great therapist, she is a caring person, who makes other's lifes better and easier. I thank you Juanita for being you and for bringing and raising Dodie to this world...May you rest in peace, and know that you did you job here on earth.Tony Mielcarek
